Regardless of who "wins" an election, they always are up against a Silent Elite. Do you believe the extreme poor who voted for Trump ever thought their non-profit support would be slashed right out from under them?

Re: Eclipse
Yet, even if the skies are very smokey, that'll make it easier to observe, and add a neat effect. I was thinking of going to Wyoming or something but, it'll be a nuthouse down there, everywhere, lol. I'm excited even though 90% is not as spectacular.

Eclipse or no eclipse most animals know better than to stare directly into the sun.

What if the darkening scares her? Nothing to do with looking up.

If you can't view the eclipse you can always listen to it, apparently it sounds just like crickets.

There's not an animal on the planet that would look directly at the sun in any circumstance, except the Brainium Unobtainium Humanis.Queen K wrote:I'm bringing my cat back in well in advance of the eclipse. She won't be outside.

If that was the case there'd be blind everythings everywhere an eclipse happens.

Re: Eclipse
Even if you managed to get a pair, should you trust that cheap solar eclipse glasses offer enough protection? Only one way to find out I guess.
Btw, there has been a recall on ones sold on amazon.
